    Well to be fair, most Google searches are probably trying to find those pictures, so maybe they were just anticipating demand? :laugh:

      That's what I did - but it's the search results that are ... um ... a touch inconsistent... :laugh:

        Searching for items has never been Windows or Microsoft's strong site, just look at Bing. I remembered the first time I used that, and Search up MSDN, the first link was to a site with pictures of naked girls. :)

        If you're a MFC programmer try a google search for CString and scroll down (NSFW).

            "Settings" is third from the bottom on the Desktop menu. Click on the logo at bottom left, you can't miss it. Unless your mate is running the Welsh Ffenestri version. ;)

                        Trying to remove McAfee from a friends lappy after upgrading, resetting, and upgrading again to win 10. And it should be easy, according to McAfee site (hah! Heard that before!) Just go to "Add and Remove Programs" in "Settings" and take it out. So...Windows 10. "Windows button", "Settings" - don't see it, so I'll search, using the Settings search box... Search "add" - "No results for add" Search "Add" - "No results for Add" Search "uni" (as the beginning of "uninstall") - and the first result is "Add or remove programs"... :doh: So...it's a search that only finds things if you look for completely different text? That's a bit surreal, even for MS!

                        Add is pretty close to asinine maybe that would have worked?

                          Just go to the control panel. If windows 10 "settings" page is like windows 8, it is worthless. I always go to the control panel. i.e. adding printers can be a pain in windows 8 from the page for adding printers, therefor - control panel. don't know if that helps you at all....

                            I hasn't been called "Add/Remove Programs" since the XP days if I'm not mistaken. From Vista forward, it's called "Programs and features". When I hit Start and start typing "prog", it appears as the second entry (the first one being "Default Programs"). Then again, this whole mess is dynamic. When I start typing "uni", I don't get "App or remove programs" at all. If I type "unin", then I get "App and features", which is the Metro-fied uninstaller (which I had forgotten all about - yuck). Nobody can convince me that searching beats a well-organized menu. I have systems (fast systems) on which I can type the whole name of the shortcut, and I still have to wait a number of seconds after that for it to get displayed before I can click on it.

                                    Try finding all the SQL related stuff when you have SQL Express installed: typing "SQL" finds the SQL Server Management Studio, but not the SQL Serve Configuration Manager. However, once you've opened SSCM, then typing SQL finds it. There is something seriously wierd about the start menu search. It behaves similarly strangely if you search for windows update too...

                                      Or you can just type "add remove" in the start menu or Cortana.

                                        Yes. Windows 10 seems like it has a mind of its own. For some reason windows explorer will always be on top, so when I open new instances of windows explorer they go behind what I DON'T want to see. :doh: But yes Kaspersky 15 blew up when I upgraded my older i5 laptop and luckily I had a 16 license as they say its Win10 compliant.

                                          Searching for items has never been Windows or Microsoft's strong site, just look at Bing. I remembered the first time I used that, and Search up MSDN, the first link was to a site with pictures of naked girls. :)

                                          We've found that searches in Microsoft Outlook are often incomplete where you'd think that looking for a word in the subject should be simple to do.

                                          I'm not a programmer but I play one at the office
